Live Photos of the rx4000
Posted by Nurhisham Hussein in "HARDWARE" @ 09:30 AM
Following the sneak peeks we've gotten over the last week of the Treo 750 and the O2 Mars, the same source has come up with some decent live photos of HP's new rx4000. More interestingly, it now appears it's going to be two devices, not one. It's hard to tell if the larger version is VGA, but the screen size is definitely in the more traditional PDA size, plus it has a D-pad and two function buttons on the front. Even better, the screenshot also shows a GPS icon on the today screen - can we wish? This is also the version that will have 1GB internal flash storage. Otherwise, the featues will be identical - WM5.0, Bluetooth 2.0, Wifi b/g, jog dial, and SD slot.
While the MyPDACafe post terms the larger machine as the rx5000, a couple of sites are calling it the rx4540. Whichever it is, it's certainly more interesting than the smaller rx4000!
Update: An engadget article has more details. In short, there will be at least two versions of the rx5000, one with 1GB ROM and the other 2GB ROM. Other goodies include a SiRF Star III GPS chip :), 3.5-inch QVGA touchscreen, standard 3.5mm headphone jack and a 400MHz Samsung processor.
